DR. FRASER SHILLING received his PhD from the University of Southern California and has 3 main research areas in transportation ecology: 1) finding out how environmental disruptions (e.g., climate change, pandemics) impact transportation and other systems, 2) studying how traffic noise and light impacts wildlife use of habitat and wildlife crossing structures, and 3) studying the interaction of transportation systems with natural processes. He also studies equity and justice in water sustainability and climate change.

Dr. Indranil Mondal is a Landscape Ecologist and wildlife connectivity expert working as a Project Scientist at the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), studying how linear infrastructure dissects wildlife habitats and corridors and how GIS can be used to plan wildlife crossing structures to mitigate the negative effects of roads on wildlife movement.
